Marketing Assistant London, England
Job description
Trade Finance Global’s Mission | To remove the barriers of trade.
International trade today faces questions and challenges on a scale that is unlike any other point in history. The entire physical and financial supply chain is changing; from manufacturing methods, to trade flows and consumer demands. We’re building the trade finance for tomorrow.
Since 2000, global trade flows have trebled, from $6.2 trillion to $18.1 trillion in 2020 – of which 80-90% is enabled by trade finance.
Trade has faced unprecedented challenges following the COVID-19 pandemic. More recently, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, staggering inflation rates and extreme weather events have put pressure on global trading systems.
To navigate the uncertainty, the industry has had to adapt, evolve and rapidly innovate to continue being an engine for economic growth during challenged times.
Businesses now more than ever need access to trade information, data and finance to navigate the new normal. That’s where Trade Finance Global (TFG) comes in. TFG is the industry-leading B2B fintech platform and publisher in trade finance and receivables.
Our head office is based in central London, with a wider global team. We’re on the hunt for a driven and dynamic Marketing Assistant who is looking for a challenge and a chance to innovate in a highly disruptive, fast-paced industry.
